As for the partisans of our gov ernment, they fed bigger than ever since the new loan has met with such unexpected success. They interpret this happy occurrence in their fa vor, and are endeavoring to prove to the world at large how very pointer Imperialism is among the French, and that every French citizen would willingly give up his last cent, if It became ne cessary thereby, to save the Napoleonic dynasty from its enemies. This eity, however, being strongly republican in its prin ciples, is of a different opinion, and In case .of • a foreign war being called forth by the Empwor, and without just provocation from ; abroad,- I consider myself-suife In asserting that the revolutionary: spirit would get the upper hand in fiaiitheni France and soon infect, the North and the whole;of the Empire, thereby either compelling Napoleon .to . peaceful measures or destroying the throne; created by tal se representations and by a fraud on the nation.

The lievointionhit,..Exiles—Preteit, et Moil who de Blontpensier. The following is the protest of the Duke and Duchess de Montpemsler against their exile from Spaini alluded to in our cable telegram as pub lishedln the Courrier de la Gironde. The docu ment is addressed the Queen of Spain : LishoN August 3, i.B6B.—MAomx—By the di rect instrumentality of the Captain General of the Andalusia, we have received your royal order f thelth of July, which enjoinsimiti-leave, with the least possible delay, the Spanish peninsula, and to fix our residence outside the kingdom. Telegraphic despatches subsequently designated to! us the frigate Villa de Madrid ,in which to make our compulsory voyage; leaving ns the choice of the foreign country in which we might be pleased to pass our exile. We shall not attempt to seek out the first causes of the difficulties which met us on our landing in Portugal, when we were threatened to be depriVed of the liberty at first accorded of selecting the place of our exile; but in the embar rassing position prepared for us as regards Lis bon, as well as in the .disrespectful reception given in the port of Cadiz to the royal colors fly ing upon the frigate which conveyed us, the signs of a useless persecution cannot possibly be ignored. Until now we have considered it oar, duty to remain - silent respecting the measures taken by your Majesty's governniefir But at pre sent, on the point of quitting the - Villa - de - Madrid —worthy representative of our beloved Spain— with our foot on a foreign Soil, we are bound to depart . from the reserve imposed on us, since silence might be interpreted as arising from an Invincible apathy or as indicating humble sub mission to a merited chastisement .We shall be exceedingly brief, Madame, in PHILADELPHIA, NEDNESDAY, - SEPTEMBER, 2,, 1868: raising our voices toyour Majesty. As the royal order of the 7th mentions no explicit complaint which need be noticed, we refrain from offering explanations, which we should have given Pally had we been openly accused: "the country is agitated, the revolutionists are making use of your name as a rallying cry and take it as the object of their machinations," such are precisely the considerations on which rests your extra legal measure, awaking our 'high position, of which you have intentionally made mention in order the more to bumiliateits. Such allegations donot deserve to be dbictufsed. But if we believed it opportune to defend ourselves against impute- Ilona concealed under transparent allnalons,when we are reminded of the duty of loyalty, with re spect to which we bad no occasion to have our memory refreshed, we should say to ruff' Ma-; jest,: If unhappy Spain is now passing - through, a difficult crisis (which .deplore with all our Soul), we are not ' the, generating cause, of It. Elsewhere must be sought the origin of the lamentable agitations which serve as a pretext for our condemnation. Whenever a people becomes oneasy:and agitated, the mason la that a grave uneasiness, afflicts it: b(NNIII/30 there no individuals and no names exist powerful enough to serve as a flag and draw a nation in their train. Weprotest energetically against this manifest violation of the fundamental law of the State and. of the eternal principles oljustice perpetrated in the steps taken by your Majesty's government, and for that purpose we do not invoke either the conslderatieres of our rank or family ties. If the former give a special emphasis to our protest tbey odd nothing , to the injustice committal, and the latter must be forgotten in presence of the arbitrary act which exiles ns without any Indi rect in timation..We do not .consider it consist. ent with our dignity to fruition:them. Solely in the name of our rights, in our charac ter of Spaniards placed under the proteCtion of the general laws of the country, do we now protest before your Majesty against the violence which drives es from our beloved Spain. We wait for the reparation to be as public and as solemn as the Insult which we have received. May 'Heaven preserve , your life for many years. MANIA LUISA FERNANDA; ANTONIA. B.OBIE. The Recent Attempt to Slow Up the Miamian hiarracks. The Pall Mall Gazette says: The tribune of the Roman Consults has fast printed the process against the persons accused of having blown up the &relator' barracks and mined the barrack Cimarra, as well as designed to set Bre to the magazine of Fort lit.

Until an immense quantity of water had been. thrown On it the the was not extinguished, and whet-put out at one spot it broke out in another. All this time the bodies of the pas sengers in the three first-class carriages next the ,ngine and tender were burning literally, to ashes. In some cases an inch or two of a dreea are a that was found in a heap of charred remains to show that they are those of a lady. In several cases even cinders of the bones have not been left. What, were human for had been gath ered up Like so much black dust. The body of the stoker, who lay under the engine, was al most the only one that presented the appear ance of a dead man. The flesh was burned off, but a ancined skeleton, with every rib visible, was left. The name, "Prince of Wales," is still to be seen on the locomotive,which is now stand ing on its wheels close to the Abergele station; out the tender made a tremendous somerset and went right over the engine and its funnel; it is smashed to pieces. Of the carriages in which the passengers were seated nothing exists to show that they were carriages but the wheels and axles; what were the bodies lie in thousands of pieces like small firewood that had been reduced to char coal. It is believed that twenty-seven persons have been killed. The smoke, pitchy black, as from. a funnel, which the petroleum emitted Intercepted the,view of the carriages In front, and it was only after the sides had been burned so that the interior be came visible, and the numerous outlines of cal cined human forms were seen in various atti tudes, that the awful truth was 'realized. The ~eat and stench were overpowering. The liquid are burned up the grass -and hedge of the t.mbankment, the telegraph poles and sleepers. The flames increased ,in intensity for several minutes and literally swept the carriages, driving in one window and out at the other, and pro ducing a heat so intense that it was impossible to approach within a considerable distance of the _train.— T e passengers in the LQtLdon curris~ee~ who bad escaped with a very slight shock, owing to the enormous weight and velocity of the en eine having prevented any serious rebound, alighted from their carriages immediately after the collision and vied with each other in endea voring to render what aid they could. The country people in the vicinity and a large *number of workmen from a slate quarry. near the spot, who had been alarmed by the concussion were also soon gath ered on the spot and a number of pails having been got together a line of men was formed across the intervening sande and buckets of sea water were obtained in the hope of subduing the flames. All these efforts proved fruitless, how ever, and the fire continued to burn with increas ing fury until every vestige of the woodwork of the Chester carriages and one of the Post-office tenders was entirely consumed, nothing remain ing but the iron framework and wheels, the greater portion of which was red hot. It was ii - considerable timeliefore the burnt car riages-could be approached, owing to the intense heat thrown out hy the fused mass of iron and burning embers,and when search was commen ced foriim stifferers little more than charred re mains of human liodiee could, be diticoi , ered. In most of the cases:-the bodies were headless, and in many it was imposaible to disc Over whether .the'sufferem were males` or ferciales. Every particle of clothing was , destroyed on all the , sufferers; and for:a long time only one body was recognized—that of the veaerable Lord Farnham, whose identity was established through an inscription inside a gold watch, re covered from his remains. It has since been as certained that Lord Farnham was traveling with his wife, Lady Farnham,: and valued old re tainer of the family, Miss Stattord,, who was in the same first class carriage with them. In their suite were also traveling Mary Ann Kellett,lady's maid, - Outen, his lordship's valet, - and Charles Buckingham, footman in, the same service, all of whom are lost. Lady Farnham , , before going to Buxton last month, called at Hunt & Roskeil's and took from their dare in ...a , small bag more than $6,000 worth of her own jewelry, with which she is supposed to have been traveling on Thursday.

The agreement is drawn up in the form of a treaty, but the articles are suggestions that each coun try should establish a Commission to secure copia, that all Con misalcars should inter change, and that the Princes should help.

The &Sante in the vicinity was Valiantly Illu minated with calcium lights. Attermusic by the Light Guard Band, General Grant made his appearance on the balcony and addressed the crowd in a few words. He said :' "Ladies and Gentlemen: I thank you for this spontaneous cOmplhnent. As you well know, I do not make speeches, and I hardly can find lan guage in the presence of this immense siasemblage even to express my thanks. Yon must simply, upon this occasion, allow me to return from the bottom of my heart my sincere thanks for this kind calL" The applause that followed this. little talk swelled up like the mightiest waves of the ocean. Hon. J. V. 8. Cannon followed with a capital speech of ten or fifteen minutes. Nine cheers were then given for Gen. Grant. He was again called out for another speech. He said: "I thanked yon once foryour kindness; all I can now do is to thank you for this unexpected greeting, for this magnificent turn out. I,feel that I should like to meet each of ytna and shake hands with all of you but that's impossible.So I I can but repeat that sincerely thank you." Hon. N. B. Judd then made , a brief and elo quent speech. One of the younger branches of the Grant family. the son of his father, was discovered by them on the piazza, and was cheered heartily for full sixty seconds. After a speech from John C:l:tove, Esq., the crowd "dispersed. • Of the magnificent Republican triumph the New York Tribune says: We have.glorlous.mews:- from . Vermont: .

In Vermont, as in all loyal States, the Republican party and the Republican policy are indorsed by every calm and thought ful citizen. The issue was never plainer. Upon one side we have the - enemies of the country, on the other its friends, It is the issue of Sumter over again. Then Beauregard menaced the-:na tional existence, just as - Blair now threatens the national . peace. All that Lincoln wanted was peace,—all that Grant. wants is peace. Now, as then, the country responds, "Amen." • If our friends rmyttritere would have been justified in self-confidence anCaPathy, it was certainly in Vermont. Success was assured. All the offices were in the hands of our friends. No mattes how tame the canvass, the fruits of victory were secure. But Vermont felt that she had a mOraltriumph to win: She was the first of the New England States to pronounce upon the nomination of Grant and Colfax. to answer the menacea of Blair..—to give an opin ion of the contemplated pro-Slavery revolution. The influences that increased our vote in Ver mont would. prevail in other States, and so the Republicans labored for victory at home, and for the comfort and encouragement of friends in dis tant and doubtful States. They worked hard— even with the disadvantage of necessary farm work and very warm weather. Every vote was brought out. The party went into action with lull ranks, and the victory surpasses our highest hopes. Maine comes next. We dare not hope for a vic tory 83 decided, but our, friends are in ,earnest, and every town rings with the busy note of pre paration: Nine more weeks of work remains be tore ! the 2 Presidential-election—Leti t be genuine,- thorough, continued Vermont work, and we shall have a Vermont triumph. Friends, give every hour to this duty. Organize every town ship. Get out every ! vote. Work—day and night—to poll-our full strength and to .prevent frauds among the Democrats: 4 We have the-vic tory in our hands—bat. we can only gain it by working everywhere as heartily as our friends have worked in the -- noble Green Mountain State. Mr. Alexander H. Stephens has had a conversa tion with a.nowspaper reporter, upon the politi cal situation. His opinions are not of much value, but we give' a few paragraphs; to illuetrate the fitter perversion of truth - wnich chdracteriges his speech, in common with that of the Southern leaders. "How do you regard the present condition of the country, Mr. Stephens?" I commenced. "As exceedingly depltitable• The last vestiges of constitutional freedom are rapidly disappear ing• and we are fast verging into centralization slid despotism. Unless some wonderful change takes place; unless the people of the North exercise that wisdom for which Americans have been so remarkable in the pait; though they seem to have lost it latterly, the world shall ere loot; witness the establishment of an empire on the ruins of this once great republic. Thelma sures inaugurated hy the dominant party, are the surest, inliications of coming despotism. They have trampled the constitution under foot, and have legislated solely. to . keep -themselves in power and to effect the same object.- -Without a political revolution occurs meantime the govern ment will be merged Into a despotism—an em pire. If Grant is elected next November I never expect to see another Presidential election." "What is ybur opinion of Grant personally?" `- "That he is entirely :underrated by the country and the press. • I know . him very well. -He 'ia• a remarkable 'man , tnd one that few appreciate, of decided military genius, indomitable energy, and determined will—just the man for a coup d'etat such as the present Emperor LOWS Napoleon performed when he placed himself on the throne of France." - "Do you know the other candidates, and what would result front the election of Seymour lid?s Blair?" "Blair I - knoui: Colfax I know; Seymour I don't knosv. They . are, all very clever fellows.

'How. would the Southern people act with re gard to universal suffrage in the, event of the el:feces/a of Seymour and Blair ?" "'They would abide by judicial decisions, and there is bale doubt that all this party legislation to secure power would be overthrown. Conven tions would be called and the people would regu late suffrage as best they thought proper. I be lieve a system of,quall fi ed suffrage on an educa tional basis would be universally adopted, in the South in such an event." "Do you anticipate any trouble during tite Presi dential e.lection between the races in the newly reconstructed States?" "No; except when it is provoked by the =- principled whites who have associatedthemselves with the negroes to get office. The whites 'will remain, r ue they have been, peaceable and quiet, relying mainly on the North for deliverance flora the frightful condition in which they arc placed. . The cry of the Radicals 'Let us have peace,' means let us have' war. They desire it, and to make political capital inaugurate riot and blood shed, If not thwarted by the forbearance of the whites." • "Would the negroes resort to arms in casethey • ere deprived of suffrage?" "If they would and did and fou g ht for it they should then certainly be , entitled to it, but , as a body of a people'they would not do it. Atiocca alone' instance' thererMight be among them of men who wonideunder the inspiration and gni, dance of whites, clamor for the right of suffrage but some as to be scarcely noticeable.

Staff an evidence of what I say were wanted I can point to Tennessee, where eighty..thousand whites Anglo- Saxons—have been disfranchised, and they do not resort to arms. In Georgia there are twenty five thousand and throughout the. South in the same proportion, but we hear of no instirrectinn or rebellion on that account. Tnerefore it is clear the negro will scarcely fight under the same cir cumstances, notwithstanding that it may be said, `And the colored troops fought bravely.' " "How do you regard the finances of the coun try and the Southern people in favor of paying the national debt ?" " I am precisely of the same opinion as Mr. Pendleton on the subject of the finances. His views accord with mine fully." he Republicans of Chestnut Rill Alovinw. Last evening the Republicans of Chestnut.

BIIIIIED Al ICE. Strange Exhibition in Newar►t—A Bur. ied German Resurrects Rims°l6 A German gentleman, advanced in years, named Franz Vester, at present a resident of Newark, recently obtained a patent for a safety coffin, designed so as to provide a way of escape to those who might be buried' during suspended animation, as is supposed may on occasions happen, particularly during the prevalence of epidemics. This invention consists of a coffin constructed similar to those now in use, except that it is a little higher, to allow of the tree movement of the body ; the top lid Is moveable from headta - breasc — arid ril— l:Use of interment is left open, with a spring at. : cached for closing the same; under the head is a receptacle for refreshments and restoratives. The most important part of „the Invention is a box about two feet square, resembling very mach a chimney, with a cover and ornamental grave work on the top. This box is of sufficient length to extend from the head of the coffin to about one foot above ground. The cover is fastened down by a catch on the inside, and cannot be unfastened from the outside. Just below the cover Is a bell sisal lar to' those used on street railway cars, with a cord appended, which, upon being pulled,sounds an alarm, and at the same time a spring throws a cover from the '-`chimney-box." Then, if the person on the inside have sufficient strength. het or she may take hold of a rope suspended from near the fdp of the chimney-box, and, with the assistance of elects nailed to the sides, ascend to the outer world; or otherwise the individual:can rest at ease, munch his lunch, drink the wine, and ring the bell for the sexton to come and as sist him out. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Vester gave an exhi bition of the working of this invention, by being burled, and after more than an an hour's inter ment resurrecting himself. The exhibition took place at Baire's Brewery Garden, on Springfield avenue, Newark; and al though fifty cents admission was charged, some 600 people were assembled to witness the novel exhibition. About 3 P. M. the grave-diggers, having exca vated a hole six feet deep, a black coffin with silver trimmings was placed upon two supports over . % A circle was made with a rope, around which assembled an excited crowd of men, wo men and children, while every tree-top and ele vated poisitidn was occupied by spectators. When everything was prepared, Mr. Franz Ves ter came forward and took his position in the coffin, the lid of which was placed, over him, at which time he was greeted with many an anxious and jocular "good-by." The coffin was lowered to the bottom of the grave. Meanwhile the band played a dirge and the crowd made comments - and drank lager,. which was handed around by the several waiters. The "Chimney box". was then set down over, the coffin; over - which - some wreaths of - flowers — had. been strewn. The grave-diggers set to work with a will, and in fifteen minutes Mr. Vaster was effectually biiried, with at least four feet of earth between him and daylight. The burial was to have taktn place, at 2 P. M., but did not come off until an hour later. After the lapse of an hour and a ,quarter, a gentleman stated that Mr. nningroN.

Vester was to remain down below for two hours; but that some of the spectators were anxious to return home-, rind consequently, if agreeable, Mr. Vester would appear at once, or; remain the spe cified time: All present teing satisfied_ a signal was given, and a minute after Mr. Vestter, un aided, stepped out of his living grave; with no more perceptible exhanatios than wonict have been Caused by Walking two or three blocks, under the hot sun.
